This is insane. What would the usual processes be for "gun safety" when it comes to prop guns? It's hardly as though this is the first time in history that this has happened, but it's very unusual for it to happen in this day and age.
What also confuses me is, why the hell is there a real gun amongst the props? You don't use real nuclear warhead when shooting a film about a nuclear warhead. If it was the 1920s I'd get, you need something that looks real, so for the shots where nobody is getting hit on screen, use a real one. But it's 2021, there are so many companies and mechanical engineers that have created intensely realistic "fake" guns.
Tl;dr - Obviously, this didn't need to happen. Why was the real gun there in the first place?
